The survey results<\/a> are in, and it seems as if travel and location<\/strong> are the main reasons why us teachers want to work at internationals schools.<\/p>\n

Contrary to what you might say in an interview setting, most people are focusing on getting jobs in desirable locations.\u00a0 Obviously, those locations might be different for different people\u2026thank goodness!\u00a0 It is not just teachers that are interested in location, it is the administrators as well.<\/p>\n

I went to a recruiting fair once and went to about 4-6 school information sessions.\u00a0 The vast majority of their presentations had to do with the location that the school was in.\u00a0 Now of course, prospective teachers need to know about where they might be moving to, but to have the majority of their presentation be about location and the places you can travel to from there?\u00a0 It is pretty obvious what is motivating people.<\/p>\n
